McIntyre Dolphin Ingot Casting Machine

Compact & High-Output Ingot Casting System

At JMC Recycling, we design and manufacture high-quality McIntyre ingot casting machines built for durability, efficiency and real-world performance.

Developed in our own foundry and proven in demanding secondary smelting environments, our systems help metal recyclers, foundries and industrial processors convert scrap into high-value ingots with minimal waste ,giving greater control over one of the most profitable stages of production.

The McIntyre Dolphin is a compact yet higher-capacity casting system, offering increased output while maintaining a space-efficient footprint.

Efficient & Consistent Ingot Production

The Dolphin has been engineered to deliver trouble-free alloy production with consistent, high-quality results.

Molten metal is transferred from the furnace via a launder into a controlled pouring system, designed to minimise dross formation and ensure clean, uniform ingots. Adjustable speed control allows accurate regulation of metal flow, producing consistent ingot weight and dimensions.

Key Features
